Trump regime ICE forces are mutilating unarmed civilians. Regime forces are firing kinetic impact projectiles at close range, causing severe injuries that can result in permanent disability or death. Today, they tore off part of a woman’s hand. #3E #GoodvsEvil
A Trump regime thug shot an unarmed civilian in the face at point blank range with a kinetic impact projectile, leaving him permanently blind and with shrapnel in his eye and skull for life. The 21 year old, Kaden Rummler, barely survived the attempted murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Every one of the factors that now convince him Trump is fascist was present in the first term (even if unsuccessful). Lots of folks who accurately described Trump as fascist were called unserious. I'ed much rather someone admit why they were wrong (left-punching, bias, etc.) than this. Gift link
Yes, It’s Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.
The Ministry of Energy showed the titanic work of energy workers who, despite bitter cold, are doing everything possible to restore electricity to people as quickly as possible after Russian attacks.
The gun taken by the agent appears to match the general appearance of the firearm shared online by DHS, and which they said was Pretti’s. This agent’s back is turned from the scene with the gun in his hand when the first shot occurs.
A DHS statement claimed “an individual approached US Border Patrol officers” with “a handgun” in the Alex Pretti shooting incident. A Bellingcat analysis of the footage appears to show that a gun was taken away from where Pretti was situated by an agent just before the first shot was fired.
We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.
Europe, Greenland, Mauritius, United Kingdom, Canada... Ready for the next step?
Macron footage shows him telling Trump: Zelensky accepted a proposed 30-day ceasefire. This week Trump told Reuters Ukraine is the obstacle, not Putin. That’s a narrative flip. If Ukraine says “yes” and Russia keeps striking, why does the aggressor vanish from the sentence?
Trump posts what appears to be a private text message sent to him by Macron
The damage which possibly derailed the train in Spain and caused the death of 39 people looks suspiciously similar to the damage caused in Poland near Ukraine two months ago. Left pic Spain, right pic Poland.
Calls for people to film events in Minnesota reflect good intentions, but intention without process produces unusable evidence. Evidence collected for awareness & evidence collected for legal accountability are not the same activity. They require different standards, safeguards, and infrastructure.

A video sent to Iran International shows that on Sunday night, state broadcaster IRIB was hacked, briefly airing footage of Iran’s national uprising, including graffiti with the slogan “Javid Shah.” The broadcast interruption appeared on TVs across the country.

The US is alienating its historic allies one after another. Completely stupid, utter nonsense.
Friends, what kind of arguments are important on the issue of Greenland, in your opinion? Evidently, President Trump believes that Greenland would make the United States more powerful. However, the opposite is more likely to happen⤵️
The world turns at a crazy pace. It's only 18 January and 2026 has already seen Venezuela, Iran, now Greenland again dominate the news. And through it all, innocent residents in Ukraine continue to freeze after the illegal invasion of their country nears a 5th year. Here's the🧵
Dictator's manual: 1) Fabricate an atmosphere of civil war by persecuting part of the population and harassing democratic states; 2) invoke the Insurrection Act; 3) deploy troops; 4) rig, postpone, or even cancel elections 😓
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 7mo agoThe Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota, defense officials tell WaPo, after Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act there. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Trump is turning the United States into a zombie democracy. You now live in an authoritarian state. Your reality is a slow democratic erosion. American people, wake up!!!
